Quote by John MacArthur
“Hay una real paradoja, no una incoherencia, en estas verdades. Todos los cristianos pecan (1 Juan 1.8), pero también todos los cristianos obedecen: «En esto sabemos que nosotros le conocemos, si guardamos sus mandamientos» (1 Juan 2.3). El pecado y la carnalidad todavía están presentes en todos los creyentes (Romanos 7.21), pero no pueden ser el sello distintivo de su carácter (Romanos 6.22). «Amado, no imites lo malo, sino lo bueno. El que hace lo bueno es de Dios; pero el que hace lo malo, no ha visto a Dios» (3 Juan 11). Esto habla de dirección, no de perfección. Pero está claro que hace que el comportamiento sea una prueba de la realidad de la fe. ¿Dónde ve evidencia de la fe en su vida?”
